"Brother Ling Tian's improvement is truly monstrous …"
Zhang Shou Yong stood within the group of Zhang Clan members as he shook his head and sighed.
But his face quickly revealed a heartfelt smile.
As a friend of Duan Lingtian, he felt happy for Duan Lingtian that Duan Lingtian was able to possess such accomplishments.
On the other hand, Zhang Shou Yuan who stood nearby Zhang Shou Yong's eyes that were suffused with terror when he looked at Duan Lingtian gradually calmed down after Duan Lingtian's figure completely vanished.
"Even if we can't become friends with that Duan Lingtian, we absolutely can't become enemies with him!"
The Ye Clan's Patriarch spoke with an extremely heavy tone.
The Ye Clan's Eldest Young Master, Ye Xiao, who stood at the side nodded and deeply agreed.
As for the Ye Clan's Second Young Master, Ye Xiang, who stood at the side, he was already terrified to the point his legs shivered. Never had he imagined that Duan Lingtian would actually be able to obtain the glory of first in the Dynasty Martial Competition.
The words of the Ye Clan's Patriarch spread throughout the seven first-class spectating areas in a short moment, and it caused the group of figures that stood at the peak of the Darkhan Dynasty to deeply agree.
In next to no time, these words continued to spread out and obtained the acknowledgement of everyone.
"From today onwards, the unknown Duan Lingtian will become a famous person in our Darkhan Dynasty!"
"A young man from an Empire has suppressed numerous top young experts of our Darkhan Dynasty. His strength is so shocking that it's sufficient to leave his name in history."
"Looks like the Darkstone Empire is indeed a good place … I'll go take a look over there in a few days. Perhaps I'll bring my family over to stay there."
…
Even though the spectators in the surroundings of the Cage Battle Arena had already started to disperse, the sounds of discussion still rose and fell without end.
The topic of most people moved onto Duan Lingtian.
A young man that was shockingly young had obtained the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition today, and it had exceeded the expectations of everyone.
Along with the crowd of spectators leaving the Cage Battle Arena, it wasn't long before the entire Darkhan Dynasty's Capital was filled with the name and deeds of Duan Lingtian.
Practically everyone knew that the person that obtained the first in the Dynasty Martial Competition held by the Darkhan Dynasty this time was a young expert from the Darkstone Empire.
This young talent looked to be around twenty-five years old, so young that it was frightening.
Also, his name is Duan Lingtian!
Right when the entire Darkhan Dynasty's Capital was discussing Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian himself was drinking tea in a residence within the Feng Clan.
"I obtained that stone tablet by chance in my hometown …"
When faced with the questions of Feng Wu Dao, Feng Tianwu, and Elder Kong, Duan Lingtian didn't conceal too much and spoke of the origins of the Devilseal Tablet.
Of course, he did not mention the powerful soul inside the Demon Sealing Tombstone that had attacked him.
That soul was so strong that it was even more formidable than Emperor Wu of Samsara.
He was able to survive by luck because his soul was comparatively special and didn't belong to this world.
Moreover, the fact that his soul didn't belong to this world had always been the greatest secret in Duan Lingtian's heart, and even his parents and two fiancées didn't know of it.
So so long as it was related to this secret, Duan Lingtian would absolutely not easily speak of it.
Even though it was said that there were no secrets in the world, Duan Lingtian was sure that so long as he didn't speak of this secret, it would absolutely be impossible for a second person to know of it.
It was precisely because of this that he'd never intended to share this secret with anyone.
"So in this way, you put it away because you noticed that the words on this stone tablet were special?"
Elder Kong asked.
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then he asked. "Elder Kong, you're knowledgeable and talented, yet I wonder if you recognize these words on the Devilseal Tablet."
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the Devilseal Tablet that was partially broken appeared by Duan Lingtian's side and floated there.
Elder Kong sized up the Devilseal Tablet seriously when he heard this.
After a short moment, he shook his head. "I don't recognize it."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Wu Dao and Feng Tianwu, and the latter shook their heads to indicate they didn't recognize it.
"Alas … Looks like I can only look for someone outside to recognize these words when I arrive at the Foreign Lands in the future."
Duan Lingtian pretended to sigh.
Elder Kong nodded. "The Foreign Lands is boundlessly vast, and there are experts as numerous as the clouds within it, so there might be knowledgeable people that recognize these words … Besides that, since this stone tablet is capable of suppressing Zi Decease who executed his secret technique, I presume it isn't an ordinary thing, and it might be able to give Brother Duan many pleasant surprises in the future."
"It's fine if it's a pleasant surprise, but I'm most afraid it'll give me a fright."
Duan Lingtian shook his head as he stared at the Devilseal Tablet with a complicated gaze.
Even though he didn't know the exact background of the Devilseal Tablet, nor did he know its origins, but his encounter at the Swamp of Death that day allowed him to realize that the Devilseal Tablet was extremely extraordinary.
The Devilseal Tablet was actually capable of sealing such a formidable soul within it. If it wasn't for him releasing that formidable soul, then perhaps that formidable soul would still be suppressed within the Devilseal Tablet.
"A soul that was even more formidable than the soul of Samsara Emperor Wu was suppressed by this Devilseal Tablet … I can be sure that this Devilseal Tablet is absolutely not an ordinary thing."
This was something that Duan Lingtian was extremely sure of.
"This stone tablet isn't simple."
Feng Wu Dao who'd been silent all along spoke out for the first time. At the same time, there was obviously slight fear in Feng Wu Dao's eyes.
"Father, have you noticed anything?"
Feng Tianwu asked curiously.
Instantly, Duan Lingtian and Elder Kong looked at Feng Wu Dao in unison.
"No."
Feng Wu Dao shook his head.
"Then earlier …"
Feng Tianwu was stunned.
"Intuition."
Feng Wu Dao continued.
Duan Lingtian was speechless. He originally thought that Feng Wu Dao had really noticed something, yet he never imagined that Feng Wu Dao would only say this in the end, and it caused him to be slightly disappointed.
"Uncle Feng, Tian Wu, Elder Kong … I intend to leave the Capital tomorrow."
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have thought of something, and he spoke to Feng Wu Dao and the others.
"Elder Brother Duan, we'll be heading to the northern desert half a year from now to converge with the young geniuses of the other nine Dynasties and carry out the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … Why do you want to leave at this time?"
Feng Tianwu asked with a puzzled expression. "Isn't it better to stay in the Capital to cultivate and improve during this half a year?"
Feng Wu Dao and Elder Kong nodded, and they both agreed with Feng Tian Wu.
"Tian Wu, if there's nothing else, then it's fine for me to stay in the Capital … But I'm leaving the Capital this time because I have to deal with some things."
As Duan Lingtian spoke up to here, cold lights flashed within his eyes.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian seemed to have transformed into a dormant venomous snake that would explode out and injure and kill at any moment.
Feng Tianwu's group of three were able to notice the killing intent contained within Duan Lingtian's words, and Feng Tianwu couldn't help but ask. "Elder Brother Duan, can you tell me about it?"
When he saw Feng Tianwu looking at him with a gaze of yearning, Duan Lingtian who originally didn't intend to speak of it sighed, and then he spoke of the matter related to the Seven Star Sword Sect being annihilated a few years ago.
"Seven Star Sword Sect? The sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom that you mentioned when we were in Phoenix Nest City earlier? "
Feng Tianwu was stunned.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and his eyes were suddenly dyed with a wisp of scarlet red, and even his breathing started to become hurried.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall the scenes that occurred at the peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Dubhe Peak all those years ago …
At that time, the members of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect descended domineeringly and carried out a slaughter of the members of the Seven Star Sword Sect, causing blood to flow into rivers and corpses to pile up into mountains on Dubhe Peak.
When he recalled the price the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups had paid for the sake of allowing him to leave, Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain.
Originally, this enmity had already been buried deep within his heart, but now, it was recalled by him of his own accord.
That was because he now had the ability to take revenge.
"Elder Brother Duan, I want to return with you."
Feng Tianwu said to Duan Lingtian.
"Tian Wu, that's only a personal matter of mine, you …"
Duan Lingtian knew that Tian Wu had good intentions, yet he still refused, as it wasn't difficult for him to deal with the Azure Forest Tri-Sect with his current strength.
But Duan Lingtian hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Feng Tianwu. "Elder Brother Duan, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so let me go with you."
"Going to relax is good as well."
Duan Lingtian hadn't even had the chance to speak when Feng Wu Dao had already spoken out. "I'll go with the two of you."
"Haha … Since Eldest Young Master is going, I naturally have to go as well."
Elder Kong spoke out as well.
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly.
He knew that this matter could be considered to have been decided.
Right when Duan Lingtian was curious why Feng Wu Dao would take the initiative to return with him.
Feng Wu Dao spoke out once more. "Ling Tian, Tian Wu and I will go with you this time to see your parents on the way … It can be considered as meeting in advance between in-laws."
"Father, what're you talking about?"
Feng Tianwu's beautiful face flushed red when she heard Feng Wu Dao, and it seemed as if blood would drip out.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian finally knew the reason Feng Wu Dao wanted to return with him. So it turned out that Feng Wu Dao was going for his parents, and he knew something was off.
"Uncle Feng, Tian Wu, Elder Kong … I'm going back to rest first."
Duan Lingtian bid his farewells to the three of them before fleeing in panic.
After he returned to his own small courtyard, Duan Lingtian locked himself in his room before withdrawing the Devilseal Tablet once more and carefully studying it. "I keep having the feeling that the black colored flame brand that appeared between Zi Shang's brows ought to not be formed by some secret technique …"
"What secret technique is capable of allowing a ninth level Void Initiation Stage martial artist to improve his Origin Energy and soul to the fourth level of the Void Interpretation Stage in a short period of time? Most absurd of all, the side effect is only to lose one's reason during the execution of the secret technique. "
"This can be considered as a side effect?"
This was something that Duan Lingtian wouldn't believe even if he was beaten to death.
"Besides that, when I'd just taken out the Devilseal Tablet, Zi Shang who should've lost his reason after executing the secret technique spoke abruptly instead … The voice at that time was a ghastly and aged voice, and it wasn't Zi Shang's voice!"
